Weekly Changelog: v0.109

Shelter Upgrades

Thanks for all the amazing feedback you've shared in the past few months. Around 80% of your suggestions and feature requests have already been implemented in-game!

One suggestion that came up a lot was to have more flexibility in the shelter upgrade system. I worked hard on this over the last two weeks, and the first iteration is now ready!

You can now:

-Access the new Build Menu with all your known shelter upgrades

-Place shelter upgrades wherever you want on the island (underwater upgrades coming later!)

-Build multiple versions of the same upgrade

-Build upgrades in a larger region

-Rotate upgrades freely before placing them

-Unlock building blueprints as you progress through the game

-Deconstruct upgrades and recover most of the materials

This upgraded system opens the door to upcoming features:

-Move built upgrades around

-Build underwater

-Add cosmetic upgrades such as torches, plants, etc.

-And more!

Many more shelter related features will be ready before the Early Access launch!

Here are a few additional demo updates that were added to the latest demo build:

-Updated the crafting station model

-Improved the level design on the two starting islands

-Improved the terrain design at the top of the larger island

-Improved the campfire smoke so it rises properly regardless of the campfire angle

-Added a new screenshot to the game's Steam page

-Improved the tutorial with fewer quests and less text to give more space to the gameplay

-Bug fix: Adjusted two UI text elements that overlapped a bit on some resolutions

Thanks again for your interest in the game!
